LGBTQ Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Nevada

Treatment rules and programs in Nevada

Who oversees treatment

Nevada's Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA), within the Division of Public and Behavioral Health, is the state's Single State Agency and certifies alcohol and drug programs under NRS 458.025.

Prescription monitoring

The Nevada Prescription Monitoring Program is a database of dispensed controlled substance prescriptions that prescribers and dispensers check, hosted on the State Board of Pharmacy's website.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

NRS 453C.150 protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, and the overdose victim, from arrest and prosecution for certain drug possession, use, and paraphernalia offenses when the evidence came from seeking help.

Court-ordered treatment

Nevada's involuntary court-ordered admission law (NRS 433A) is built around mental health crisis, and dependence on or addiction to alcohol or other substances does not qualify by itself unless a diagnosable mental illness is also present.

Featured dual diagnosis programs in Nevada

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

How dual diagnosis treatment works

Dual diagnosis treatment treats substance use and mental health conditions at the same time, with one team. It usually combines therapy, psychiatric medication management and addiction treatment. The programs on this page report treatment for co-occurring serious mental illness, psychiatric medications and an LGBTQ program or group.

Insurance and cost

Federal parity rules generally require health plans that cover substance use treatment to cover it on terms comparable to other medical care. Your cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle rehab.
